His figures of 4 for 50 from his alloted quota made the difference. He took two wickets at top order and 2 in middle order. Now officially South Africa declared as No. 1 one day team. If SA can win the test in return series starting on 26 Feb they will be ranked in the top spot in tests also. Austraila were set with a siff target of 289 to save themselves from losing the top spot in oneday rankings, but they were rounded off for 249 to lose onday series with 1-4! to SA. Amla was declared the Player of the Match and JA Morkel for the series.
